The Republican candidate for Senate in a crucial swing state is supporting former President Donald Trump’s plan to keep biological men out of women’s and girls’ sports.

The candidate, Eric Hovde, who has been endorsed by Trump, said that there is “no question” he would support the measure if elected to the Senate, The Daily Caller reported.

“There’s no question that parents are upset when they’re learning that this is being pushed on their school districts and the Department of Education is saying that they are going to deprive them of funds,” the Republican, who is in a close contest against Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin, said to The Daily Wire. “If you’re a parent you don’t want your daughters having guys going into their bathrooms and locker rooms. And the girls don’t want that.”

“Look, my youngest daughter was the female athlete of the year in the state of Wisconsin in 2017. She was a freak athlete,” the candidate said.

“And to think we would allow boys to compete in her sports, it’s crazy. A male, after they go through puberty, has more muscle mass, [is] quicker and bigger, and could become dangerous,” he said.

Baldwin has opposed measures designed to keep males out of female sports in the past and the Republican candidate has used that in ads against her.

When he spoke to The Caller he said that the reason for his ads was to show “what a hypocrite” she is. 

“She’s made her brand trying to run against Wall Street, talks about wealth inequality, talks about the wealthy need to pay their fair share, and yet her Wall Street partner designs tax schemes for the uber wealthy and private equity and invests in biotech and pharmaceutical companies, which Sen. Baldwin oversees that committee,” he said.

The candidate said that the main job of the Senate, if Republicans take control, should be to cut the deficit and secure the border.

“We’ve got to create security and safety for our people and our population from the fentanyl, from the criminals, from all the potential terrorists that have poured over our southern border,” he said.
